Lucky for me my wife is completely supportive of building our arcade room. She still pulls me back when i spend a decent amount in a short period of time. Saying that.......She Told Me We Are Buying the Claw Machine. This is the first time she wanted to buy something beside Frogger and Sit-down Outrun (i did pick them up for her) long ago. The claw machine hits a new popular side of home arcades. I hope the Claw sells out and 1up uses the excitement to launch new arcade cabinets. Yes, we are buying the Claw....or i'll be sleeping in the car. Haha. I probably would have bought it anyways.
Hey Bill, great pickup man! There’s something about getting all of the XL’s it’s not going to be what KI is but still will probably happen. Thanks man 👊
So happy you got KI when you did and excited for the final review of it! And The Claw is funny … half love it and half seem personally offended by it. Have a great one Phil 👊🏻🕹️😎
Hey Ted, I think the half that love it is enough to get these moving :) especially if they show up in a store. Thanks Ted in the next day or two I should have it out 👊
I can't believe that you potentially got the last KI Pro!! When I was re-watching Cornercade's stream from last night, he mentioned it, and my stomach just sank, lol... imagining that you had the same feeling. Unbelievable 😲
those claw machines open up and entirely new market for arcade1up. they also get them into the mechanical 'game' which potentially opens the door for real pinball machines. i won't be buying a claw machine but i'm sure a lot of people will.
ive had the ki pro since they came out i preordered it. the sticks kept miss inputing making it hard to do quarter circle moves. so i put real iL euro sticks and left the buttons stock plays great now.
Hey Phil! Once KI Pro sold out... it won't come back there were only 500 made and they didn't sell well. I have no idea whether it was worth the money but rest assured they're not making anything close to it again. So in that respect you got a limited edition cabinet. Only possibility is that they sold the remaining inventory to a wholesaler like AtGames did with the $299 ALU's on eBay but I doubt it because they have warehousing the alliance entertainment now. Which has me worried whether we'll ever see X-men in another form factor again. Or is what's left all that's going to be made. I'll have some decisions to make this coming Black Friday and hopefully then a lot of these will be on sale but like we were thinking maybe there haven't been big sales because they don't plan on renewing any licenses going forward. Looking forward to seeing the KI pro review. Can't believe you bought that evercade lol. Any purchase I make the biggest selling point for me is being able to play online with the community. Not sure why but that's the biggest buying motivation for me.
Hey Mikey, the online is huge for me too. When I powered KI on last night I said I have Battletoads again :) I missed having this cab. If X-men comes down 499 or less man I’d do it 👊
@@PDX7Your thoughts really resonated with me because what if I lose the chance on having the iconic X-men cab in my basement. If I ever just get one I'd want it just for nostalgia
After seeing the FOMO on Tron on eBay going for over 2k buying a KI Pro was a no brainer for me, good move you got one. I pulled the trigger a few months ago I paid a little more but glad I got one. Still got to put it together 😂 I’ll watch you do yours for tips buddy,
Hi PhilO. Creature and Monster Bash dropped today. Glad your car is being looked at, what year is it? AngelO is still loving her birdie, we are getting cooler weather too which is good.
I want the claw machine when the price drops, it's not worth $500, I actually found a couple commercial grade claw machines for about the same price on marketplace
@kevinclauson7613 nice! Almost justifies getting claw machine at 499 :) streaming Turtles this week and more to come I hope you decide to put it together soon 🐢
I think if they're going to release a claw machine they could have at least tried to go for a 3/4ths zoltar instead. NWT has shown the license is possible. That would have sold out at preorder. This is the first time arcade1up has taken on mechanical hardware and this has defective written all over it. I just don't trust this company to put out decent controls and mechanisms. And why is it priced at $500 if it's not a licensed cab. I'm tired of this company making fabricated excuses like punisher not being able to be on future cabs because of violence etc. then we see the full game including the two towers shown in the capcom release.
I completely agree Mikey, we could’ve gotten Punisher on another cab it’s excuses on their part. I forgot to mention Evercade on my last response. lol I know it’s a Countercade but honestly I’m excited to see how the beat em ups play on it, it will be cool to compare to the 2 1ups I have. Claw machine looks really flimsy, I like the look of it but I’m not too sure about this one :)
I think it works in your arcade, but I’m with you it’s not something I’m going to bring home. Maybe because of newer game rooms and resorts we go to is geared for this they thought why not let’s try it. Interested to see how they sell, seems a lot of people are excited.
Totally sounded like Vader! Claw machine is a pass, think it will sell well so should be a win for A1up. Totally lucked out with KI Pro, timed it perfect!!! Agree that all A1ups should be built like that.
You and I are in the same boat with claw machine and these will sell out so hopefully we get something we’re looking for next time. I turned on KI last night before I went to bed it starts up differently than my old KI. There’s a few things I would’ve wished they’d do differently or improve, but it’s pretty cool :)
I feel sorry for people that buy that A1Up junk. I’ve moved on to commercial arcades. If you look hard enough, you can find commercial grade arcades for not too much more and sometimes for even less. I just picked up a Silver Strike cabinet in excellent condition and finished rebuilding it for a total of $400 and it has 4 games on it. Get smarter people.
@@PDX7 doing great 👍. Mostly playing the 4K pin these days. So far they have been releasing a steady stream of good games. Did you ever end up getting one?
White lighting! lol, love it! Nice, you're the man Phil.
No you are 👊 car feels like it’s brand new 😎

That is so cool Patriot! I’m excited for You both :)
That claw machine looks like the biggest joke of all time! 😂😂Great video Phil!
Hey Zod, lol I’m getting Casinocade vibes all over again :) Thanks man 👊
You have to get Shaq Jam, so you'll have all the XL's. I'm getting KI Pro, I should have it Friday. Congrats brother!! Get the Shaq Jam!!
Hey Bill, great pickup man! There’s something about getting all of the XL’s it’s not going to be what KI is but still will probably happen. Thanks man 👊

Looking forward to the KI Pro review! Had no idea it was "that" rare (no pun intended) LOL. Good luck on final assembly. :)
Thank you Thomas :) I can’t believe it sold out!
Nice going with getting a KIPro to set up for your arcade. Looks cool and a rare item at 421 of 500.
Thank you Black Arro Toons, this really came together good and didn’t run into any problems:)
@@PDX7 Cool, good to hear!
Holding out for the Spy Hunter XL cab...
That would be an unbelievable cab to have :)
I can't believe that you potentially got the last KI Pro!! When I was re-watching Cornercade's stream from last night, he mentioned it, and my stomach just sank, lol... imagining that you had the same feeling. Unbelievable 😲
I saw he was online when I turned mine on, dude I’m so lucky I bought when I did. Nice picture Ryan :)

I think so too, these should sell well. I just hope they don’t move too far away from home arcades.
Phil KI Pro was always $999 never sales tax never shipping. And the Claw machine will not be on display at Best Buy lol you are the best.
Dude honestly it came up more a month ago when I was checking out, shipping was not included then. Thanks man :)
@@PDX7 that must have been an error of sorts it’s always been $999 PHIL GET HYPED!
@TheCornerCade Let’s Go!
ive had the ki pro since they came out i preordered it. the sticks kept miss inputing making it hard to do quarter circle moves. so i put real iL euro sticks and left the buttons stock plays great now.
After the video I noticed the sticks aren’t exactly perfect, but out of the box I was really blown away. Which number is yours?
mine is number 212 of 500
@aaronjamesstanbridge Thanks for sharing 👊

@mikeyyoon that’s exactly why I bought mine and now I can play online with anyone who has it.

Gino you’ll absolutely love it!!
Idk how they got more in stock, but I just bought one this afternoon (10/06)!
Nice pickup! Congratulations 👊
Phil, of course KI sold out after the King of W&Ts told everyone he bought one. You are an official infuencer! 😉
lol Thank you Stokjock 👊
KI is back in stock. It was a glitch with their website because everything was listed as sold out. They have now since fixed it.
Ki pro is back in stock and I got my order in 😉
That’s awesome! You’re going to love it!
Hi PhilO. Creature and Monster Bash dropped today. Glad your car is being looked at, what year is it? AngelO is still loving her birdie, we are getting cooler weather too which is good.
Hi CarlO, they both look great! It’s a 2014, hoping to keep a little longer :) I brought long sleeve tee with me this time.
You can always get the ALP later.
I agree 👊
How much was the MK display model?
304 and I thought it was 50 too high, there was a few scrapes and the marquee never lit up.
Phil let’s do a lunch bet to see if the claw machine will be on display at Best Buy! You say yes I say no chance, LETS GO!
McDonalds it is 👊
@@PDX7 🤣👊🏼
Hope u enjoy killer instinct we should play
Thanks Firestarter! I hope we can jump online and play this fall 👊
😌👍👍👍
😎👊
I bet you coulf just upgrade the KI joystick to a 4 or 6lb. spring and change the gates.
Definitely, probably would’ve made a huge difference.
I want the claw machine when the price drops, it's not worth $500, I actually found a couple commercial grade claw machines for about the same price on marketplace
Hey Kevin, 500 does seem high. It would fit in your room pretty good, did you sell Big Blue yet and is Turtles still in box?
@@PDX7 turtles is still in the box, I sold Big Blue, but I still have one more Big Blue in box 😉
@kevinclauson7613 nice! Almost justifies getting claw machine at 499 :) streaming Turtles this week and more to come I hope you decide to put it together soon 🐢
Have you seen the dimensions of the toys the claw machine can grip?
Not yet, but it looks about 6” if I had to guess on those capsules.

I don't understand the point of a claw machine for a "home arcade" honestly.

No way they had them in order. be impossible for them to sell 70 of these after u got urs a week ago.
Either I got one of the last or we will be seeing these on eBay? I can’t believe it

@baldmar5083 it’s staying here :) when the main menu popped up I said I can play Battletoads again! I missed having KI :)
@@PDX7 I gotta get a defender!!!!
@baldmar5083 maybe another rehash is on its way :)
I got 422 of 500!
